You Ain't A Cowboy

(album: Sitting Pretty On Top Of The World - 2021)

There's a difference
In the Wild, Wild West and a Podunk town
There's a difference
In a rambling man and a boy that's just running around
You ain't riding in the sunset, boy you're just jetting
In a Tennessee hat acting like it's a Stetson

But you ain't a cowboy
When cowboys head out, boy
They turn back around, boy
Settle down, boy
Come home to the woman they love
You ain't nothing like George Strait
His kind don't just ride away
Lonely, lost on some highway
Tryna play
Like you've got some old smoking gun
But you ain't a cowboy

You think you're an outlaw
'Cause you stay out real late always stirring up trouble
But you didn't fool me
In your dirty, old Wranglers and your shiny gold buckle

You're still shooting back shots guess I dodged a bullet
I love you's a trigger couldn't make yourself pull it

'Cause you ain't a cowboy
When cowboys head out, boy
They turn back around, boy
Settle down, boy
Come home to the woman they love
You ain't nothing like George Strait
His kind don't just ride away
Lonely, lost on some highway
Tryna play
Like you've got some old smoking gun
But you ain't a cowboy

You ain't a cowboy
You ain't a cowboy
No, you ain't

There's a difference in stumbling out and a tumbleweed rolling
There's a difference in just acting out and rodeoing

But you ain't a cowboy
When cowboys head out, boy
They turn back around, boy
Settle down, boy
Come home to the woman they love
You ain't nothing like George Strait
His kind don't just ride away
Lonely, lost on some highway
Tryna play
Like you've got some old smoking gun
But you ain't a cowboy

You ain't a cowboy
You ain't a cowboy
No, no you ain't
You ain't a cowboy
